You create a urpmi source with a cooker mirror and then every day, do 

urpmi.update -a

and then

urpmi --autoselect

To add a cooker urpmi source, go here for instructions

I find the best time to update is about 0:00UTC.  AT that point, everybody in 
France has gone home (I hope) and most of the mirrors have propogated the 
changes for the day.
